+1 but I don’t see it happening.
It was my main gripe when I purchased WDTV (gen 1) a year ago. Many things got fixed through firmware but this problem is still there. That, and the {} subtitle comments displaying. You’d have thought that they could at least remove the { } lines as they did (I think) with the italic format marker. From what I can see WDTV Live still has the same issues so they either can’t fix it, won’t fix it, or it’s low priority (not sure what’s high priority though)
